Cute Description

Sophia was sick yesterday, which was just as well, as it was a school in-service day. She had a fever and was just lethargic. She's totally better today. I picked her up from school and she immediately starts telling me she wants a playdate with SK (a girl!) They have a week break at the end of the month, so we'll try to arrange that.

We get home and we go through the back and forth of what to have for lunch. As is typical for her (as her teacher says, "every day is different with her!") she asks for something totally odd and random (meaning something that we don't normally have for lunch, but we certainly could!) for lunch. Potatoes. The hell? (Maybe I'm just used to Fiona eating the same thing day after day). So after figuring out she will really eat potatoes, I roast some fingerlings for her. She ate about half. While they were roasting, she decided she wanted eggs. She said "I want the yellow ones". I said, "The yellow ones?" I'm confused for a minute because lately she eats hard cooked eggs and only the white part. She said, "Yes. The ones that look like feathers." I said, "Oooh. You want scrambled eggs." She said "Yes. Scrambled." She ate about half of them.

I know! She does this. She doesn't call things by their names...she uses these interesting descriptions. I usually figure out what she's talking about. Sometimes I'm a little slow.
